Topic: Indiana Jones

(I did a search to see if a thread for the series was here and didn't see it, if there is already one by all means merge this with it)

Any fans of the series here? I've been a huge fan since I was a kid and I still love the series, among my all-time favorite movies. I enjoy all of them, even the much-maligned Crystal Skull, and at the risk of sounding blasphemous my personal favorite is actually Temple Of Doom. I love how dark and ominous it is compared to the others and I like that it was different from Raiders but just as thrilling. But all four are great fun. I'd rank my favorites like this:

Temple Of DoomRaiders Of The Lost ArkThe Last CrusadeKingdom Of The Crystal Skull

I rotate between TLC and KOTCS though, in some ways I prefer KOTCS to TLC but TLC is one I grew up with, so out of nostalgia bias I sort of marginally rank it ahead of KOTCS. But as I said I enjoy them all very much in their own way, a great series.

I also forgot to ask what's everyone's favorite action scene in the saga? I've always loved the mine cart chase in Temple Of Doom, still one of the most thrilling sequences I've seen in any movie.

The fight with the big bald Nazi by the plane in Raiders. Love that scene! And the chase scene where Indy climbs up the front of the truck from underneath, of course.

Just something I find amusing: I remember seeing a spotlight for the flick on Entertainment Tonight back when I was a kid, and it showed a clip of Harrison Ford actually stapling on his hat in that scene.
